Hello all:

Just joined up after a recent purchase of a very nice '76 TR6. Get ready for a lot of "newbie" questions.

Some years ago I picked up a BMW motorcycle, shortly after I joined pelican parts forum and it has been tremendously useful to me, hoping this site is the same. Been lurking a few days and it appears so.

I'm about an hour north east of Toronto in Ontario, looking forward to a month or two of top down driving before winter work starts.

Thanks in advance

Bill

Welcome aboard Bill! We have lots of TR6 folks here, so I'm sure you will fit right in!

Thanks, they've been most helpful already.

Bill

Hi Bill,

Best Wishes with your "New/Old" toy.

Hello, Bill, and welcome to the Forum!

Bill, whereabouts are you? Hour northeast of Toronto, I'm thinking Peterborough or something?

James:

Near Millbrook, just south west of Peterborough, are you nearby?

Bill

Ah, no. Much farther to the left - I'm in Saskatoon!

My family used to have a cottage by Bancroft though - and my parents-in-law have a cottage in Haliburton, so roughly the same ballpark. I know the area up there well.

James:


Has it started to snow there yet?

Hehe, whats a daimler sp250 look like?

I live here 'cause its close to the ganaraska forest where i do lots of dirtbiking and snowmobiling. There's an enduro in Haliburton next week, good riding up there too.

I have great aunt in Prince Albert, she used to raise samoyed dogs, I have one or her last dogs he's nearly 13 now, blind, diabetic but still moving (and eating I might say). Pretty good for a dog that in his prime weighed close to 140 lbs.

Bill

Not yet... but it started to snow in October last year, yikes. I moved here from Nova Scotia last year. Before that I was in Kingston, before that, in Toronto.

Good location! I'd never move back to Toronto. I think you have better quality of life there.

A Daimler SP250 looks a lot like a codfish

I'll post a link to my car thread, hang on...

James:

Not often you hear someone refer to their car as fishlike!

That things going to be a rocket with a V8. Very nice restoration project as it's so good to start with, and has a good story, 45 years in the same family.

I've been tempted by some offer to go to the City can't image living that way, wouldn't want to ever become a smug Torontoian.

Bill

Nobody has any reason to be smug in Toronto until they get a proper hockey team...(!)
